after baby body woes | 10/22/09 12:12 PM
hi there, i find that since i had my boy 4 months ago my body has gone through many changes, mostly not great ones. For example i have developed this weird bumpy rash on my thighs, calves, arms and hips. I think it is called kp and has no cure. What do i do, not wear shorts or capri's ever again? they look like little pimples but are not, it is very embarrassing. also, my boobs shrank a little, and i have extreme headaches and nausea every day. it is awful because my boy tends to cry a lot especially lately with teething and runny nose, etc. i had to have an epidural to get an emergency cesarian section because i was in labour for 3 days after my water broke and no baby, he needed to get out and with his swelling it was too hard. does anyone else suffer from these things? i am wondering if there is a connection between my headaches and my spinal. stress may also be a factor as i do not have much support and my hubby has been unemployed for 4 months now.
i gained 45 pounds with my boy but have lost 37 of them which is great but i have so much cellulite now which i didn't really have before. it is just hard to see myself this way when i used to be a pretty and healthy gal. anyone 0ut there have any body woes they would like to share?
